The documents mainly relate to the period 1200 to 1600. The
earliest in date is a grant of land in the lost vill of Hartburn, in the
parish of Barmston (No. 226), made, probably in the reign of
Henry II, by a member of the Monceaux family to Thornholme
priory in Lincolnshire.

Although the majority concern the West Riding, the North
Riding is represented by Dr. Taylor’s Everley collection, by an
interesting series relating to Richmond, by the first instalment of
the Habton deeds and those relating to Thrintoft and Middleton
Quernhow from the Middelton collection, and by single documents
relating to Guisborough, Leyburn, Melmerby, Middleton-upon-
Leven, and Newby Wiske. Particular attention may be drawn to

INTRODUCTION

V

the steward’s letter from Kirby Knowle, addressed in all probability
to Sir Robert Constable of Halsham; for medieval letters are com¬
paratively rare. For the East Riding there are a series of docu¬
ments relating to the leper hospital of St. Sepulchre’s at Hedon, the
second instalment of the Sewerby deeds, two series from the Mid-
delton collection for North Duffield and Thornham in Wansford
(possibly an unrecorded manor), and other documents relating to
Bainton, Haisthorpe, and Lund.

Among the West Riding documents Lord Allendale’s deeds re¬
lating to Bretton and Bentley Grange, an outlying property of
Byland abbey, deserve particular mention. They doubtless passed
from the muniment chest at Byland at the dissolution. Original
monastic documents often provide additional information, by way
of a longer and sometimes more accurate list of witnesses, to that
provided in a Chartulary. In volume ii of this series Mr. Brown
printed some Byland deeds relating to Bagby and Islebeck. It is
hoped to print in future volumes abstracts of the large collection,
now in the British Museum, of the abbey’s deeds relating to Denby
Grange, which, in conjunction with those now printed, will form the
basis of the history of these two West Riding granges.

Disputes about tithes, a constant source of medieval litigation,
are illustrated in the Winterburn document (No. 513) ; and on the
subject of ecclesiastical affairs the foundation deed of Dean Head
chapel (No. 58) is of considerable local interest.

Examples of manorial economy and customs will be found in
the extent of the manor of Newton Wallis (No. 320), where con¬
ditions after the rebellion of Thomas of Lancaster were the reverse
of prosperous, and in the detailed list of “ pains ” for the manor
of Lund (No. 256), which suggest a wholesome sense of collective
responsibility and a good state of farming within the limits imposed
by the open-field system. The Brighouse series relates to a manorial
mill, part of which was freehold and part copyhold, doubtless a
somewhat cumbrous arrangement. The duties of a manorial
steward at Haisthorpe are detailed in No. 223.

The intricacies of the open-held system are well illustrated at
North Duffield (No. 63) and at Thrintoft (No. 489). At Hawks-
wick (No. 234) the rent for the working of iron was a percentage of
the profit; and an Everley document (No. 90) shows that the rent
for common pasture on the moor was based on the number of the
grantee’s tenants using it.

But the main interest of these volumes must necessarily lie in
the fact that they provide one source of the raw material for village

VI

INTRODUCTION

and monastic history, and for the elucidation of medieval genealogy.
The Middelton deeds provide further documentary evidence for the
early generations of that family ; and the sections relating to Habton
and Stockeld give such evidence as may justify an attempt, made in
Appendixes II and III, to give an account of the two families which,
deriving their names from those vills, attained some considerable
measure of local importance in the thirteenth century. It may be
noted that the elder branch of the Habton family gave rise to the
Scottish family of Riddell, taking its name from the Yorkshire
Ryedale. Allusion has been made to the lost vill of Hart burn;
information will also be found about Scalwray, a hamlet of Middleton
in Ilkley, which has now disappeared from the map, and about
Newsome in Spofforth and Thornham in Wansford, two farms which
in former days had manorial rank.

The volume produces an apparently unknown sheriff of York¬
shire in the person of Sir Simon the Chamberlain (No. 244). Alice
de Yarm, Prioress of Basedale (No. 290), two Masters of St. Sepul¬
chre's hospital (Nos. 240, 241), and probably another Richard, Prior
of Bolton (No. 469), may be added to the recorded lists for those
houses. The name of John de Almodyton (No. 44) is not with¬
out interest. His connection with Burley-in-Wharfedale was
doubtless due to his acquaintance with Archbishop Greenfield during
the latter’s tenure of the deanery of Chichester; and Almodyton
may be safely identified as Almodington in Sussex. As a stranger
he was afraid that his own seal might be unknown, and so his grant
was fortified with that of the Archbishop (No. 45).

The evidence of armorial seals will be a useful factor when the
time comes for the preparation of a Yorkshire Armory. Here
(No. 422) the seal of Sir Ralph de Stockeld indicates the arms,
possibly unknown, as borne by that family. But the most important
seal in this volume is the unrecorded seal of Byland Abbey,
described on page 5 and illustrated in the frontispiece; and a
good example of the Knights Templars’ seal is appended to No. 286.

Some unusual Christian names include Perconsa (No. 482), and
Tragisius (No. 195) ; and there is a Scandinavian ring about Sygreda
(No. 229).

In Appendix IV the opportunity has been taken of consolidating
in one alphabetical list the place-headings of deeds which have been
printed in these five volumes and in different volumes of The York¬
shire Archeological Journal. It is hoped that this list may be of
use to those who are interested in the history of one particular place
or district.

The pleasant task remains of recording the thanks of the Society
to the owners of the various documents for the generous way in
which they have granted facilities for publication, and of expressing
my own gratitude to many members and other friends for the
valuable assistance which they have given me in the course of editing
the volume. In particular my thanks are due to Mr. E. W. Crossley
for constant help and for his patient kindness in reading the proof
sheets. It is difficult adequately to express what the work owes to
the encouragement of Mr. William Brown, who inaugurated this
series of Yorkshire deeds. Before his death he had placed at my
disposal the two series relating to Follifoot and Sewerby, and the
single documents relating to Leyburn and Melmerby; while the
British Museum documents relating to the hospital at Hedon are
based on some abstracts which he made several years ago.

1 Seal of the abbey : red wax, pointed oval, 2f by 1 f ins. ; an abbot standing
and holding a pastoral staff with the crook turned outwards beneath a gothic
canopy; on either side three monks standing and facing inwards beneath
canopies ; above the central canopy the Virgin and Child ; and above the side
canopies three small rings. [S'] SCE MARIE : ET [ABJBATIS : [? COVENJT'
DE BELLA LANDA. Broken at the top and at either side. The design of
the seal suggests the latter part of the thirteenth century.

On the reverse are two impressions of an abbot's seal, circular, diameter | in. ;
an arm holding a pastoral staff, with two lions rampant in the field facing one
another; DE BE[LLA LANDA]. The lions may allude to the lion of Mow¬
bray, the founder.

The only recorded seal of Byland Abbey is a small circular thirteenth-
century seal, which has a half-length figure of the Virgin and Child, and the
legend “ AVE [MARIA]"; three abbot’s seals are known, dating from the last
part of the twelfth and early years of the thirteenth centuries; one of these,
used in 1186, a pointed oval, has the design of an arm and hand holding a
pastoral staff, in the field two estoiles and several uncertain objects, with the
legend, “ SIGILLVM ABBATIS BELLELANDE." ( V.C.H . Yorks., iii, 134;
and B.M. Catalogue of Seals, Nos. 2818-2822.) There is in the Public Record
Office, as Mr. R. C. Fowler kindly informs me, a seal of the abbey with the
abbot's counterseal, which was discovered lying loose and attached to no
document, and which is clearly identical with the seal and counterseals at¬
tached to the above deed. It is likewise imperfect; but the legend on the
counterseal is quite clear.

West Bretton.

15. Grant3 in frankalmoign by Swain son of Ulkil de Brettona,
for the health of his soul and the souls of all his ancestors and heirs,
to God and the monks of St. Mary of Byland4 of all the ridding5
(rodam) in the territory of Brettonia called Smidiroda, and all the
land which he had had on the west of Smidiroda from the bounds of
Sitlingtonia as far as the conduit (< ductum ) of Emmeleia on the north
of the way leading from the said conduit towards Brettonia, together
with the dwelling-place (sede) of Smidiroda, the wood, and other
easements contained in the said land ; and common pasture for two
hundred sheep by the greater hundred6 and other beasts cultivating
the said land throughout all the territory of the said vill ; the monks
to make their sheepfold for the said two hundred sheep on either side
of the conduit, and to enclose the said land at will. The monks
would give the grantor and his heirs 6s. yearly, to wit, 3s. at Whit¬
suntide and 3s. at Martinmas. Witnesses, Robert Walensis, John
de Birkine, Thomas de Horbiry, Adam Phililli, Jordan de Hetona,

1Seal: red wax, small; a cross and a letter.

2 This deed would seem to have been misplaced in the Follifoot series, and
to belong rightly to Brackenth waite. The land in question is probably that
which is detailed in No. 97 in vol. iv, the rent of 6 d. being the same; and com¬
parison also proves that Henry Hendeman was the same person as Henry son
of Adam de Brackenth waite.

3 This grant is in the Byland Chartulary, whence it was printed in Farrer,
Early Yorkshire Charters, No. 1791. The original, printed above, contains
a longer list of witnesses and corrects two mistakes in those given in the
Chartulary. Mr. Farrer dates the grant 1 190 -12 20. In 1202 Swain de Bretton
and Maud, his mother, were parties in a fine with Alan de Criggleston, touching
land in Bretton. (Yorks. Fines, John, No. 80.) Swain was alive as late as
1243 (see below).

4 Bella Landa or Bell’ and’ in all cases except where otherwise stated.
For the form Beghland, and Mr. Brown’s remarks thereon, see vol. ii, p. 11 n.

5 This is the more likely meaning than rood, a measure of land; cf. royd-
land or rode-land, land cleared and brought into cultivation; and cf, “ the
assart called Hutherode ” in No. 375.

6 This refers to the old Norse hundred; i.e. 120.

the mill being in Brighouse and called Brighousmylne, to hold from
Michaelmas last past for a term of forty years, rendering yearly to

made between the said Robert and Thomas ; to hold the ground and
the mill so built during the said term of forty years, rendering yearly

4 This is the corn mill, termed “ Rastrick Mill ” in the early Wakefield Court
Rolls which have been printed. Several extracts from the Court Rolls relating
to the corn mill and the fulling mill were printed in a pamphlet, “ Brighouse
Lower Mills,” by George Hepworth (Brighouse, 1890). The documents now
printed add considerably to the information supplied by the Court Rolls.
That the corn mill was divided into three parts and one part as early as 1363
is shown by an entry in the Court Roll for that year. The fulling mill, as these
deeds show, was built between 1478 and 1 520 ; in later days it was known as
“ Brighouse Lower Mills ”; and there are some interesting details of its history
in the pamphlet quoted in this note.

8 Also another grant of the same date in the same terms, except that the
rent is given as 3 /*. 13s. 4 d., and the attorneys as John Thornell, gent., and
Perceval Thorneton.

65. Nov. 24, 9 Henry V (1421). Notification2 by Robert
Chichele, mayor of London, that the lady Alice Salveyn, late wife
of Sir Gerard Salveyn, knt., had informed him that whereas she
was seised in demesne as of a free tenement of a manor with appur¬
tenances called Northduffeld, co. York, and a dispute had arisen
between her and Sir Roger Salveyn, knt., her son, now deceased, in
that Alice would have released to Roger all her right which she had
for life in the said manor and in certain other lands and tenements in
the said county, in which she ought to have dower, in the event of
their having been able to agree about divers things and conditions
in which they were not agreed, certain ill-disposed people endeavour¬
ing to disturb Alice’s right in the said manor, lands, and tenements
said openly that before the last departure of Sir Roger out of Eng¬
land an agreement had been made between Roger ancl Alice concern¬
ing the premises, and that by reason of that agreement Alice should
have surrendered her right therein to Roger, whereas no such agree¬
ment, surrender or release had been made, as Alice had sworn on
that day before him (the mayor) to the peril of her soul and on the
holy gospels, and in evidence of which, lest the purity of this truth
might be obscured by the calumnies ( fiatibus) of the ill-disposed ones,
it had been reasonably submitted to him on the part of Alice, that
he should see well to summon certain worthy men, his fellow citizens,
namely, Ralph Holand, Thomas Stance, John Kirkeby, clothiers,
Richard Estfeld, skinner, and Hugh Neel and John Mason, bruers,
who had sought Sir Roger on his last departure out of England for the
payment of certain sums of money due to them by the said Sir
Gerard in his lifetime, to examine them on oath as to all that Sir
Roger had said to them, and to have such examination recorded by
letters patent under the seal of his office ; and since that petition was
not thought to be unreasonable he had summoned his aforesaid fellow
citizens who, examined on oath, had said that Sir Roger on his last
departure out of England had affirmed to them that a dispute was
going on between him and the lady Alice his mother about certain
lands and tenements, of which they had not come to any agreement,
and that if they could agree on his next return he would satisfy all

and singular in their debts, but that if they could not agree then his
mother would fully satisfy them; and whereas they had sworn
that Sir Roger afterwards went out of the kingdom of England and

singular in their debts, he had caused the seal of his mayoralty to be
put in testimony of the information, petition, and examination.

certain, that the name is as above. There is a pedigree of Hussey of Sleaford
in Lincolnshire Pedigrees (Harl. Soc.), p. 526. Sir William Hussey, who mar¬
ried Anne Salvayn, was the second son of Sir William Hussey, Chief Justice of
the King’s Bench, 1481-95, and a younger brother of Sir John Hussey who sat
in Parliament as a Baron in 1529. (G.E.C., Complete Peerage.)

1 Beautifully written in a red ink in a hand of the early thirteenth century ;
but the date must be later in that century, as the names of Sir John de Hode-
rode and Sir John de Horbury show. The grantor was, therefore, probably the
Sir William who succeeded his father after 1253, and the grant may have been
made on that occasion (see pedigree of Fitz William in Baildon, Baildon and the
Baildons, i, 366) . He was great-great-grandfather of the Sir William who con¬
firmed this grant in 1385, referring to the grantor as his proavus. There is
one difficulty in this identification as the former Sir William was not ' son of
William,' but son of Thomas son of William; the explanation may be that
even at this early date ‘ filius Willelmi ’ may have acquired the aspect of a sur¬
name. There is also a fifteenth century copy of this deed. ( Ibid ., No. ia.)

194. Whereas certain disputes had arisen between Sir Walter
Percehaye, plaintiff, on the one part, and William de Habbeton, de¬
forciant, on the other, concerning a certain common of pasture
which Sir Walter claimed against William by the King’s writ before
Sir John de Vallibus, William de Saham, and their fellow Justices
itinerant at York in 8 Edward [I] (1279-80), at length as a friendly
agreement intervened all the said disputes were for ever settled in
this way, that Sir Walter granted for himself and his heirs, with the
consent of John de Rytona his parcener, who also made the grant of
his own mere will, to William and his heirs common of pasture of
herbage only, to him and all his men, freeholders excepted, for all
kinds of his beasts agisted in the vill of Habbeton throughout the
year, in 180 acres of moor belonging to the said Walter and John de
Rytona, next the march made with the assent of the said Walter,
John and William between Habbeton and Ryton, as the little stream

abutted on the land of the Prior of Malton (Meauton) called Brodes,
lying between the land of Richard Barri on one side and that formerly
of David le Lar diner on the other, and so continuously as far as the
said 180 acres should be bounded (perimplete) in length and breadth
by the bounds made there by Walter, John and William; neverthe¬
less so that neither William nor his heirs should claim henceforth
anything of the soil of the said moor nor of any pasture beyond the
said bounds on the moor, but that Walter and his heirs should have
and hold all their lands, moors and pastures of Ryton in their sever¬
alty without any claim by William and his heirs except only in the
said common of herbage over the said 180 acres of the moor of Ryton
within the bounds as aforesaid, and that William and his heirs should
have and hold all their lands, moors, and pastures of Habbeton in
their severalty without any claim by Walter or John or their heirs.

of the forinsec service, called scutage, and all kinds of services and
demands in which they were bound to his predecessors or their
feoffees at any time for twelve bovates of land in the territory of
Little Habbeton, with tofts and crofts, ways and paths, meadows,
feedings and pastures, waters, fisheries, mills and pools, marshes,
moors and turbaries throughout all the bounds of the moor and
pasture as they ever used them, with le Milnegrene and the land of
Hornese together with the waste belonging thereto as much as be¬
longed to the said canons ; which twelve bovates the grantor’s father
had confirmed to them in frankalmoign; the grantor would acquit
the said bovates from the said scutage, county, riding, [and] wapen¬
take suits of court and all other services and demands which could
in any way be exacted, to wit, an amercement of 40s. to the sheriff
of York for the time being, so that he might distrain the grantor,
his heirs and successois in all their goods movable and immovable
wherever found as often as it should happen that the said canons
should be vexed by default of the grantor’s acquittance and war¬
ranty until the said amercement be discharged, and nevertheless the
grantor and his heirs would be bound to warrant and to restore all
losses which the canons might incur through default of warranty.
Warranty by the grantor, his heirs, assigns, and successors holding
his land of Great Habton. Witnesses, Walter called Romanus of
Edeston, Bernard de Berge, Robert son of Tragisius of the same,
James Bataile of Wilgtofte, Richard de Herlethorp, William Sayve
of Ellerton, Simon of Little Habton, Thomas his son of the same.

Anglicanum, vi, 978, is given the charter of William de Habbeton, son of
Nicholas son of Patrick, to the canons in frankalmoign of twelve bovates of
land in the territory of Little Habbeton, free from all services saving to the
grantor the forinsec service of the King, which was called scutage as much as
belonged to twelve bovates where eight carucates made a knight’s fee. Wit¬
nesses, Sir Roger de Neusam, knt., Sir William de Stainegrive, knt., Sir John
his brother, Matthew de Malton, Richard de Berch. It will be seen that Wil¬
liam’s son, the grantor of the deed printed above, made himself responsible
for the forinsec service, thus adding to the benefits conferred on the canons by
his father. The donor of land in frankalmoign and the donee “ might arrange
the incidence of this ‘ forinsec service ’ as pleased them best ”; forinsec service
remaining a burden on the land which no gift in frankalmoign, unless made by
the King, could in itself remove; see Pollock and Maitland, History of English
Law, 2nd ed., i, pp. 238, 245.

2 This date and that of the appointment are quite clearly 1366 as written.
But such a date gives rise to considerable difficulty. It might well be expected
that this grant would be earlier than the next deed, which is dated April 26,
1362. Moreover, the witnesses are identical, pointing to the fact that the
deeds were executed about the same time. It is somewhat arbitrary to suggest
that the date is wrong; but a mistake may have been made, and the scribe
may have used the words sexagesimo sexto with the regnal year tricesimo sexto
in his mind, the latter being 36 Edward III, i.e., 1362. If such an explanation
can be regarded as plausible the date of the deed can be assigned to April 21,
1362, a few days earlier than the next deed. This suggestion is further borne
out by the fact that Elizabeth, the grantor, appears to have been dead in
Michaelmas Term, 1363. (De Banco 416, m. 129.)

Sire, your writing of Kirkeby is sealed with the seal of John de
Kilvington,2 and John your serjeant went with me, and I took the
fealty of the King's tenants to your use ; but we have given nothing
to John de Kylvington yet in accordance with your command, but
I offered him 20s. on your behalf on condition that he would remove
his hand3 from the lands which belonged to Thomas de Lasceles
in Escrike, and I showed him your right of the reversion according
to the tenor of your letters which you sent me, and according to
what he would find by inquest of the said vill if he should wish

1 This letter is in French. There is, unfortunately, no indication as to
who wrote it or to whom it was addressed. But the following extract from
Cal. Close Rolls, 1323-27, p. 28, throws light on the circumstances: “ [1323]
Memorandum, that whereas Isabella de Lasceles held in dower at her death
certain lands in Escrik, co. York, and the manor of Kirkeby Underknol, in
the same county, of the inheritance of Joan, late the wife of Thomas de Cole-
wenne, Avice, wife of Robert le Conestaple, Matilda, late the wife of Robert
Tilliol, and Ralph son and heir of Theophania, late the wife of Ralph son of
Ranulph, daughters and heiresses of Roger de Launceles, and the aforesaid
Joan, eldest daughter and heiress of Roger and Isabella, granted the reversion
after Isabella’s death of her purparty of the said lands and manor to Simon
Warde, and he granted the reversion to Roger Dammory, a late rebel, and the
lands and manor, which are held of others than the king, were taken into the
king’s hands after Isabella’s death because the purparty thus granted per¬
tained to the king by reason of his forfeiture. By the king’s assent partition
of the lands and manor was made into four parts by the aforesaid Robert,
Avice, Matilda, and Ralph, and the said heirs and parceners granted to the
king the choice of the purparties, and he chose the following purparty.” Then
follow full and interesting details of the partitions into four parts of the manors
of Escrik and Kirkeby Under knoll, and orders, dated Sept. 27, 1323, to deliver
their shares to (a) Robert le Conestable and Avice his wife, ( b ) Matilda late
the wife of Robert lilliol, and (c) Ralph son of Theophany. It seems possible
that the letter printed above may have been sent to Robert le Constable by
his steward before this partition had been settled; and, in support of this, it
is significant that Robert had a serjeant called John, who was receiver of
money on his behalf at Kirby Knowle (see No. 490). At a later date the
quarter of Kirby Knowle which had been possessed by Roger Dammory was
granted to Elizabeth de Burgh, his widow. This quarter was acquired by
Robert le Constable and Avice who, by 1329-30, had already acquired the
other three quarters of the manor. ( V.C.H. , North Riding, ii, 46; and the
charters in Topographer and Genealogist, i, 216.)

2 Keeper of the castles and lands of Thomas, sometime earl of Lancaster,
and other rebels between the rivers Tees and Ouse. [Cal. Pat. Rolls, 1321—24,
p. 1 61 ; and, with particular reference to lands in Escryk and Kyrkeby Under¬
knoll, Cal. Fine Rolls, 1319-27, p. 240.)

to enquire, as I understood; and John told me that he would show
that not to be so, because he said that the Lady Joan de Culwenne
granted the reversion of that land to Sir Simon Warde, whereupon
the said Thomas attorned himself to him [Simon] in a yearly rent,
and then attorned himself to Sir Roger Damari in the same rent
because of the grant which the said Sir Simon made to him [Roger],
and thus it is that he has entered that land by the right of our lord
the King, and he would determine on no other course; wherefore
it is necessary that you sue elsewhere if you know that your right
is clear. And, sire, know that I have begun a plea between you
and Sir Geoffrey de Uppesale, but your tenants whose beasts were
taken would not wait so long fearing that their beasts would perish
in the fold before deliverance were made ; wherefore, sire, that is no
fault of mine,1 and so for that you can sue against him when you
wish. And, sire, I beg you to let me sow now at this season five or
six acres of your lands at Kirkeby with oats, if you please. In
all things give me your commands, and may God keep you in honour.

1 Of the bundle of early deeds labelled Middleton, Nos. 1—46 refer to Mid¬
dleton in Ilkley; of these Nos. 1-29 are printed in this volume, the remainder,
of dates 1311-1435, being reserved for the next. Nos. 47-56 refer more
specifically to Scalwray and Stubham; some of these are printed in this volume
in those sections. No. 57 refers to Habton, Nos. 58-61 to other vills of the
name of Middleton, No. 62 to Newsome, and No. 63 to Sessay and elsewhere;
these, with the exception of No. 57 (which is reserved for the next volume),
are printed in this volume in their appropriate sections. No. 64 refers to
Thornham in the parish of Middleton, co. Lancs.

the tenure in frankalmoign was created, passed in this grant from the grantor
to the grantee. (See Pollock and Maitland, History of English Law, i, 245.)

c. 1297; she married first, c. 1288, Sir William Hilton, of Swine, who died
c. 1290; and her second marriage took place in, or before, 1292-3; she was a

Lascelles inheritance with Sir Robert Constable and her sister A vice. ( Topo¬

before Easter, 17 Edward II, who say on oath:

Manerium. The profit of the site of the manor cannot be ex¬
tended because it is worth nothing yearly beyond the upkeep of
the manor. There is a dovecot broken and waste (debile), the profit
of which used to be worth 2 s. yearly, and now nothing because it is
broken. There is a garden called le Apelgarth containing one acre
of land bringing in 5s. yearly, which Alice de Penyton holds for life.
There is a ferry over the river Air, bringing in 2 s. yearly at Whit¬
suntide, and the lord will find a moiety of the boat. There is a
fishery in the same water which used to bring in 6 d. yearly, and now
nothing for default of a tenant. There is a pasture in severalty
called Thornestreme, of which the herbage is worth 2 s. yearly for
the agistment of four beasts therein. And there is a pasture in
severalty called Westekerheued, of which the herbage is worth 2 s.
yearly. Total, 11s.

Terra. There are 84 acres of arable land in demesne of which
each acre is worth 8 d. Total, 56s.

4! acres are demised to John de Ledesham, who renders 20s. yearly
at Michaelmas, and of the residue of the 14! acres 4 acres lie in le
Mikelhienge of which each acre is worth 3s. \d. yearly, total 13s. 4 d.,

1 Newton Wallis, in the parish of Ledsham, taking the latter part of its
name from the family of le Waleys. Sir Richard le Waleys forfeited to the
king the manors of Burghwallis and Newton Wallis; and the king granted
them to Sir Geoffrey le Scrope to hold until Sir Richard paid 2,000 marks;
Sir Geoffrey duly surrendered the manors to Sir Richard le Waleys: at least
a draft was drawn up for the purpose. (Yorks. Deeds, i, No. 108.)

Mr. R. Holmes, in Pontefract Chartulary, p. 233 n, notes that “ the manor
[of Newton Wallis] was escheated in 1322 as a consequence of the part taken
by the then owner, Richard [Wallis], in the rebellion headed by Earl Thomas
of Lancaster, but was restored in 6 Edward III to his son Stephen, in whom
the family name ceased.”

for two days without allowance of provisions (tallia). And if the
work is not performed so that it be not of their default they shall
render nothing. Total, 19s. 8d.

beth, late wife of Sir Nicholas de Wortelay,5 and John Sayvill of
Eland, by which the former granted to the latter, his heirs and execu¬
tors, the custody of the lands and tenements which she had of the
grant of Simon Simeon, and which Simon had had of the grant of
Sir John, duke of Lancaster, in Shitlyngton and Flocton,6 by reason
of the nonage of John, son and heir of the said Sir Nicholas; like¬
wise with the marriage of the said John ; to hold until John be mar¬
ried and of full age ; and should he die unmarried and under age in
like manner from heir to heir, until an heir be married and of full
age; and should he or any heir be married and die under age to
hold until an heir be of full age, saving to Simon Simeon the marriage
of the heir after one heir should have been married. Also grant to
the same of her dower in the vills aforesaid to hold from April 25
last past for eight years next ensuing and7 until the full age of John

1 There is another example of this deed; in the list of witnesses Weldon
occurs as Beldon; seal of dark-green wax, with the same arms; no endorse¬
ment to show that it was ever in the muniment chest at Byland. {Ibid.,
No. 1 a.) Weldon is probably correct; for Henry de Weldon see vol. iv'
Nos. 162, 163.

Seal, brown wax, circular, diameter n/i6ths in.; a shield bearing three
barrulets, over all a bendlet dexter. The arms of Horbury, as quartered by
Wortley, were argent on a fess sable three towers of the first. {Glover’s Visita¬

6 She was a daughter and coheiress of Adam de Wannervile, lord of Hems-
worth, and widow of Sir Nicholas de Wortley, who died in 1360; her will, dated
at Hemsworth, Oct. 20, 1382, is printed in Test. Ebor., i, 123; see also Hunter,
South Yorks., ii, 309, for the connection of Hemsworth with the Wortley
family as a result of this marriage. " The more genial situation of Hemsworth
seduced for a while the W ortleys from their antient hereditary seat.”

6 John of Gaunt, as lord of the honour of Pontefract, sold to Simon Simeon
the custody and marriage for 80 marks on Nov. 12, 37th year [of Edward III] ;
this sale is printed in Hunter, op. cit., ii, 310. Simon Simeon had a connection
with Wath-upon-Dearne. {Ibid., ii, 71.)

7 The words from April 25 ” to “ and ” are inserted above the line. A
reasonable deduction may be that John Wortley was born on April 25, and

came of age on April 25, 1373. He was duly married and was living in 1424.

3 This date is open to suspicion, as from Nos. 428 and 429 it would appear
that Richard son of Alan came of age in 1 31 3 ; he could not therefore have been
born as early as 1279. Moreover, the activities of the two justices, especially
Malore, suggest a date nearer to the year 1300. Possibly 28 Edward I may be
the date; but I cannot trace the original entry; and this is of course a mere
guess. Other inaccuracies in this copy may well confirm our natural suspicion
that the date is incorrect.

are those which are earlier in date than the statute of Quia Emptores, 1290;
Nos. 28-44, covering the period c. 1290 to 1496, are reserved for the next
volume. The first eight deeds of this series appear to belong to the early
years of the thirteenth century, a suggestion which is confirmed by their
handwriting.

5 Seal: dark-brown wax, oval, f x f in.; an eagle displayed; the legend is
chipped, and the only part which it is possible to read contains the letters
. . EME . That the priory seal was originally attached to the document
seems clear from the text. But in addition to its unmonastic character there
is reason to suspect whether the seal now appended is in fact the one referred
to in the deed; for at the back there is a patch of red wax over one end of the
tag, and if this were removed it seems probable that that end would be free
and draw out of the slit. This suggests that at some period a previous owner
found the seal lying loose and assumed it to belong to this particular document.
If this suggestion, which I owe to Mr. H. S. Kingsford, is true, it does not, of
course, prove that the seal does not actually belong to the deed. But all the
circumstances tend to inspire suspicion that the seal is not what it might be
assumed to be, namely an unknown seal of Bolton Priory.

with the addition of Robert de Adingham, relating to a culture of two acres
and half a rood, described in precisely the same way; term of years, eleven;

should have held it 21 d., so that nevertheless on such an occasion he
should not cause it to be handed over to anyone else, and if he were
convicted of this he should give to the fabric of St. Peter’s, York,
ios. of silver; and he subjected himself to the jurisdiction of the

3 This presumably formed part of the land granted by Jordan to Furness
Abbey in 1246, for the latter included land acquired of William English; the
date of this deed must therefore be earlier than 1246. Richard, prior of
Bolton, cannot therefore be the only Richard of whom there appears to be
record in the thirteenth century, namely, Richard de Burlington, or Bak-
hampton, who was prior of Bolton subsequent to 1267 and who resigned in
1274. (Mon. Ang., vi, 202). This deed may thus give the name of a prior

513- April 4 and 8, 1329.2 Whereas a question had arisen be¬
tween the abbot and convent of Sallay, rectors of the parish church
of Gair grave on one part, and the abbot and convent of Furnes on
the other, concerning the tithes of sheaves of lands of the. manor of
Wynterburn within the bounds of the said parish, at length in the
convocation of the abbots of the province of York held at York on
Wednesday, iv kal. April (March 29), 1329, the venerable fathers,
the abbots of Fountains, Byland (Bellalanda) , Newminster, Calder,
Kirkstall,Jervaulx ( Jerouall ), Holme, Meaux, Rufford (R-ughford), and
Roche being present and intervening at the special command of the
lord abbot of Citeaux for the sake of peace and the preservation of
the unity of the order, it was unanimously agreed that the abbot and
convent of Sallay and their successors in the name of the church of
Geirgrave should take fully the tithes of their lands and cultures
within the bounds of the said parish, whether they were cultivated
at the hands or expense of the abbot and convent of Furnes or of any
other, namely, of a carucate of land in the vill of Flasceby called
Howploghelandes, of four bovates of land in the same vill lying be¬
tween the demesne land of William Grayndorge and the said caru¬
cate, of two and a half acres in Arnecliff, of one acre of land at the
head of Langeheuedland, of another culture called Skarneberghe,
and of six acres of land adjacent called Ouerfurscotes; and in respect
of the tithes of the remaining lands and cultures of the abbot and
convent of Furnes within the bounds of the said parish, the abbot and
convent of Furnes and their successors should pay yearly to the
abbot and convent of Sallay and their successors 4 marks of silver
from the manor of Wynterburn in equal portions at Michaelmas and
Easter. If the abbot and convent of Furnes should demise the
whole of the manor of Wynterburn with all lands and cultures and
appurtenances to other persons, or if they should retain the said
manor with any portion of arable land not exceeding eighty acres,
the residue of the lands and cultures being demised, the abbot and
convent of Salley granted that during the time of the demise the
payment of the 4 marks should wholly cease, and the tithes of the
demised lands and cultures would wholly belong and be paid to the
abbot and convent of Salley by right of their said church. The ab-

bot and convent of Furnes bound themselves and all their goods,
especially their manor of Wynterburn to abide by the award.1 The
abbot and convent of Sallay granted for themselves and their suc¬
cessors and their church of Geirgrave that the abbot and convent of
Furnes and their successors should have the fruits of the tithes of
sheaves of their remaining lands and cultures belonging to their
manor of Wynterburn, the lands and cultures above specified being

The Family of Habton.1

I. GOSPATRIC was the father of

(1) Walter de Ridale, who was granted, c. 1140, lands

in Roxburghshire by David I of Scotland. By
his will, which was confirmed by Pope Adrian IV
in 1156, and by Pope Alexander III in 1165, he
bequeathed his lands there, and at Brawby, par.
Salton, co. York, to his brother Ansketil.

(2) Ansketil (II).

And probably

(3) Robert de Ridale, a benefactor of Rievaulx, and

probably also of Fountains; had issue Alan and
Walter and three daughters.

II. ANSKETIL DE RIDALE, or DE HABTON, or DE
BRAWBY, held one knight's fee of the Bulmer fee in 1166,
and held Brawby of the Prior of Hexham; had issue, by
his wife Asceria2 —

(1) William, married Maud Corbet and died s.p.

(2) Walter, succeeded his brother William and died s.p.

(3) Patrick (III).

(4) Eda, granted to the nuns of Keldholme one carucate

in Habton. (Farrer, E.Y.C., No. 781.)

(5) Maud, a nun at Watton, mentioned in charters of her

father and mother. (Lord Middleton's MSS, see
foot-note.)

III. PATRICK DE RIDALE, succeeded c. 1175 to both the
Roxburghshire and Yorkshire lands; a benefactor of Mel¬
rose, and granted to Rievaulx a right of way through the
moor of Habton (Chartulary, p. 289) ; he was dead in 1209,
having had issue —

1 The early part of this note is mainly based on the documents and notes in
Farrer, Early Yorkshire Charters, ii, 1 13-120, where evidence for the several
statements will be found.

2 There are two charters by her, with and without her husband, among
Lord Middleton’s MSS. (Hist. MSS. Commission, 1911, pp. 1, 3, where they
are printed in full.) They are grants to the Priory of Watton of land in Bird-
sall. This land formed part of Asceria’s marriage portion. Her name is
differently spelt Acilia, Ascilia, Aciria; and she was the daughter of William
de Steinesgrife [Stonegrave] by his wife Maud. She survived her husband. The
first of these charters has an interesting “ fraternity ” clause: Et iste sancti-
moniales susceperunt me et hanc sposam meam Aciliam et patrem ejus Willel-
mum de Steinesgrife et matrem ejus Matildam in perpetuam fraternitatem et
plenariam participationem orationum et beneficiorum totius ordinis sui.

IV . NICHOLAS DE RIDALE or DE HABTON, who was granted
the Yorkshire lands by his father; in 1209 was involved in
a suit relating to the manor of Habton with reference to a
mortgage ; "in 1217, having been of the party of the barons,
he returned to allegiance. It appears that by 1229 he had
become a monk at Meaux.” (Farrer, op. cit., ii, 120.) He
had issue —

Priory of Ellerton (No. 195 n. in this volume), and in 1231
he warranted a bovate of land in Habton to the Prior of
Ellerton. (Yorks. Fines, 1218-31, pp. 140-1.)

He married Agnes daughter of Robert Frende (No. 197

It seems tolerably clear from the deeds in this volume that the Middelton family
did not acquire the manor of Great Habton by marriage or inheritance.

APPENDIX III.

The Family of Stockeld.1

I. NIGEL DE STOCKELD.

In 1166 he held | knight’s fee of the new feoffment of
William de Percy. (Red Book, p. 425.) He was a bene¬
factor of St. Leonard’s, York, granting the vill of Stockeld
which he held of the Percy fee, and also land in Deighton
which he held of the Trussebut fee. (Yorks. Deeds, iv,
No. 485.) He witnessed the charter of Maud, countess of
Warwick, to Sawley Abbey (Mon. Ang., v, 512); and c.
1190 a grant by Nigel de Plumpton of land in Idle to Esholt
Priory. (Calverley Charters, No. 49.)

There is evidence that he had seven sons —

(1) Walter. He confirmed his father’s grant to St.

Leonard’s, York (Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 486), and
was probably the eldest son. He granted to Sir
William de Percy two and a half bovates in Linton.
(Percy Chartulary , No. 155.) He was a party to
fines relating to Hornington in 1202, and to
Stockeld and Hornington in 1208. (Yorks. Fines,
John, Nos. 202, 319.) He married, c. 1202-3,
Agnes daughter of Adam son of Meldred de
Giggleswick, through whom he had land in Beams-
ley and Nesfield. (Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 78.)

(2) Richard. He was granted two bovates in Ribston

(Percy Chartulary , No. 71), and by Maud, countess
of Warwick, two and a half bovates in Linton.
(Ibid., No. 283.) He is described as Sir Richard
de Stockeld as holding land in Stockeld. (Yorks.
Deeds, v, No. 409.) In 1208 his brother Walter
quitclaimed to him all right in the vills of Stockeld
and Hornington. (Yorks. Fines, John, No. 319.)

(3) Baldwin (II).

(4) John. A witness to a Follifoot deed with his

brother Richard. (Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 222.)
He may have been the father of the John who
made a grant of land in Stockeld. (Ibid v
No. 413.) 1

(5) Simon. His son Henry is described as nephew of

Baldwin de Stockeld. (Fountains Chartulary ,p.i6i.)

1 This is merely a framework, to illustrate the descent of the manor of
Stockeld, mainly based on the documents from the Middelton collection which
are printed in this and the preceding volume. Several members of younger
branches of the family, of whom documentary evidence is available but of
whose place in the pedigree there is no precise indication at present have been
omitted

APPENDIX

185

(6) Thomas. A witness to deeds. (Yorks. Deeds , iv,

NOS. 222, 489.)

(7) Gilbert. A witness to deeds with two of his brothers.

(Ibid., No. 229; Fountains Chartulary , p. 465.)
He had issue two sons, Nigel and Robert. Nigel,
who must not be confused with Nigel de Stockeld,
his grandfather, had issue two sons, Richard and
Gilbert. Robert held two bovates in Little
Ribston ; these he granted to his nephew Richard,
who granted them to his brother Gilbert; the
latter, described as Gilbert de Ribstan, clerk,
quitclaimed them to William de Percy. (Percy
Chartulary, Nos. 71, 93, 118, 199; and cf. No. 237.)
Gilbert the clerk, son of Nigel de Stockeld, granted
to the Priory of Healaugh Park land in Little
Ribston, mentioning Amabel his wife, Richard
de Stockeld and Robert, his (Gilbert’s) uncle; to
this grant Baldwin de Stockeld and Thomas his
brother were witnesses; if, as appears probable,
they were the grantor’s great-uncles the date of
the grant would be before 1246. (Inspeximus
and confirmation in 1310, Cal. Charter Rolls,
1300-26, p. 148.)

II. BALDWIN DE STOCKELD.

He held Stockeld of St. Leonard’s Hospital, as brother
and heir of Richard de Stockeld. (Yorks. Deeds, iv,
No. 489.) He was a party to a fine relating to Linton in
1223. (Yorks. Fines, 1218-31, No. 192.) He was granted
land in Little Ribston by Robert de Plumpton, who de¬
scribed him as his cognatus. (Percy Chartulary , No. 179.)
His wife’s name was Joan, and he died before May, 1246.
(Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 412.) He had issue (ibid., No. 410) —

III. THOMAS DE STOCKELD.

He made an agreement concerning land in Stockeld in
1246. (Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 412.) He quitclaimed to Sir
William de Percy common of pasture in Spofforth, which
his father Baldwin had held. (Percy Chartulary , No. 286.)
He is possibly the Thomas de Stockeld, who with his wife
Cecily made an arrangement with John de Yeadon con¬
cerning land in North Deighton in 1226 (Yorks. Fines,
1218-31, No. 273) ; but this may refer to his uncle Thomas.
He was dead in 1253 (Yorks. Deeds, v, No. 414), and he had
issue (Ibid., No. 417) —

IV. Sir RICHARD DE STOCKELD.

c. 1 246-5 21 there was a dispute about his wardship and

York, was one of the disputants.

APPENDIX

marriage. ( Percy Chartulary , No. 460.) He was therefore
under age when his father died, and the date of his birth
can be fixed as c. 1235. On Jan. 18, 1256-7, he was granted
free warren in his demesne lands in Stockeld, Linton,
Whitewell, Deighton, and Spofforth, provided that they
were not within the King’s forest. (Cal. Charter Rolls ,
1226-57, P- 459-)

In 1261, as Richard lord of Stockeld, he witnessed a Folli-
foot deed. (Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 248.)

It is possible that he is the Richard de Stockeld who,
with Beatrice his wife, granted the capital messuage in
Exelby to St. Mary’s Abbey, York, c. 1295. (Y.A.J., x,

275 n, quoting Dodsworth.)

In 1298 he made an interesting, though unusual type of
settlement of the manor of Stockeld (Yorks. Deeds, v,
No. 420); and he was dead in 1301. (Ibid., No. 423.)
He had issue — -

(1) Ralph de Stockeld.

He was holding the manor of Stockeld in 1301,
when an extent of his lands there was made.
(Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 501.) He used a seal with
the arms of three eagles displayed. (Ibid., v,
No. 422.)

(2) Robert de Stockeld.

He succeeded his brother Ralph, certainly
before 1313, and probably before 1306. (Ibid.,
Nos. 425, 429.) He was alive in Sept., 1314, when
he made a grant of land in Stockeld (Ibid., No.
430) ; but must have died shortly afterwards.

(3) Alan de Stockeld.

He died before his father (Ibid., No. 416), who
did not mention him in the settlement of the
manor. His wife’s name was Alice (Ibid.), by
whom he had issue Richard son of Alan de Stoc¬
keld, who executed a number of deeds relating to
the manor and vill of Stockeld between the dates
Sept., 1313, and April, 1316. In these there is
clear proof that his father Alan was a son of Sir
Richard. Although Richard quitclaimed to his
uncle John his right in the manor in Nov., 1314
(No. 432), he made a grant of the manor to Peter
de Middelton in April, 1316 (No. 440). It is not
clear how he became possessed of the manor, but
it is possible that his father Alan was the next
brother to Robert, and that he himself was there¬
fore Robert’s heir if the settlement made by Sir
Richard, his grandfather, were disregarded.1 It *

1 The deed printed in Yorks. Deeds, iv, No. 502, rather suggests that he
acquired the manor as a result of his uncle John’s illegal transaction; but the

APPENDIX

187

is probable that Richard’s wife was the Ellen who,
as a widow in 1320, made an agreement about her
dower (No. 450).

(4) John de Stockeld.

He married Eva daughter of John de Golds-
borough, and about 1316 granted the manor of
Stockeld to his father-in-law, who regranted it
to him in f rank-marriage. (Yorks. Deeds , v,
Nos. 437, 438.) This transaction was described
as against reason and the law of the land. (Ibid.,
iv, No. 502.) The remainders show that his
nephew Richard son of Alan was to be excluded
from the possibility of succession.

It was found in 1317 that he had disseised Peter
de Middelton of the manor (Ibid.,v, No. 445) ; and
he quitclaimed his right therein in the following
year (Ibid., iv, No. 502; and v, No. 446), receiving
in return land in Berwick (Skipton) (Ibid., iv,
No. 86; and v, No. 447).

He and his wife were both living in 1327 (Ibid.,
V, No. 455).

(5) Nicholas, mentioned in his father’s settlement of

1298.

(6) Avice, married Thomas Gulias of Drayton. (Ibid.,

No. 418.)

(7) Sybil, and (8) Agnes, both mentioned in their father’s

settlement of 1298. Agnes occurs in deeds of
1315-16, and 1319-20, etc. (Ibid., Nos. 434, 449.)

point is undoubtedly obscure. It is also possible that Alan was the eldest
son of Sir Richard, and that the latter made the settlement after Alan’s
death.

INDEX OF PLACE-HEADINGS

APPENDIX IV.

Index of Place-Headings for Yorkshire Deeds.

The following table contains a consolidated list of the place-
headings of deeds printed in Yorkshire Deeds , vols. i— v. In the
case of documents referring to more than one place it is the practice
in these volumes generally to place the document under the heading
of the place mentioned first. To make a list of every place referred
to in the several documents would involve an index of a size far
beyond the scope of this appendix.

Collections of original deeds printed from time to time in The
Yorkshire Archceological Journal are also included. The extracts
from Dodsworth’s MSS., which have been printed for a portion of
the West Riding, are not included.

The numbers i, 2, 3, 4, 5, refer to those volumes of Yorkshire
Deeds. The symbol, 1*, refers to the Sizergh Castle collection,
which was printed separately as the second part of vol. i. Such a

symbol as Jiv, 164, indicates Ihe Yorkshire Archceological Journal ,
vol. iv, p. 164.

The index is compiled, so far as possible, on a township basis.
In the case of hamlets a cross-reference is also given from the town¬
ship in which the hamlet lies. The brackets indicate, in the case
of a hamlet, the township in which it lies, or, in the case of a town¬
ship which requires some further identification, the parish or other
wider unit.

Thompson. In the list of rectors given in Lipscomb’s History of the County
of Buckingham, iv, 520, it is stated that Richard Mallevouse was presented

2 June, 1349, by Ralph de Neville, Lord of Raby, and that his successor, on
his resignation, was presented 7 April, 1351, by the Custos and College of
Windsor. Mallevouse is clearly an error for Malleverer.
